Police claim that they arrested the star early on the Sunday morning after he allegedly became violent at the Martini
Ranch nightclub in Scottsdale, Arizona sneezing on a bouncer and then punching the guard

'Guys, the TMZ report is a total f**king lie. I got jumped by three 250
pound bouncers.

'They knocked me out and beat me for several minutes,' the actor tweeted.

The actor later released pictures to Radar Onlineof his extensive injuries which included a right orbital fracture, which extends down through his cheek and into his upper jaw and mouth, a right maxillary sinus fracture, multiple contusions, multiple hematomas, concussion, multiple abrasions and a lot of swelling.

He has since undergone multiple surgeries.

He also showed pictures of his hands, which had no marks, as proof he did not hit the bouncer.

The actor is claiming he was badly beaten by a group of people in an unprovoked assault.

Jason alleges he was at the club with his wife of almost two years, Sofia Karstens, when the incident occurred. She later tweeted friends and family thanking them for their support.

'Thanks everyone for the love & concern. Jason is humiliated & in pain & not loving being alive right now. The support helps us both. Thank u,' she wrote on February 3.

His representative told Radar Online that while the actor had been drinking he did not attack anyone - he was the one attacked.

The representative said: 'This was not the result of injuries sustained due to a belligerent patron during routine removal.

'These are injuries sustained of a brutal attack using excessive force and deliberate and intentional beatings designed to injure and cause maximum damage. Which they did.

'Bars are institutions where there are drunk people who are sometimes inappropriate and even sometimes violent. It is the bouncer’s job to remove the problem and if it is necessary to use force in order to secure the safety of the establishment and patrons they are entitled to do so.

'It is not acceptable to retaliate with brutality once that has been accomplished.
